I was arrested by the same cop who responded to my on-campus sexual assault at LSU. I never talk about it or think about it but I did write about it for the first time in my upcoming book. I’d never even journaled about it before. It’s just a thing that happened and exists somewhere in my head.

My favorite thing about visiting incarcerated women in prison is that there's really no pretenses there. Not like on the outside. I don't have to be anyone else other than who I am in front of these women and that makes the interactions all the more genuine and open.

When NOBODY was following that newsletter (cause she didnt even tell the group chat about it) my sweet loving boyfriend was the FIRST person to follow it and we were both looking for scotch bonnet at the corner store to try recipes. I wont let NOBODY forget it when you big.

I got me a hand made dream catcher from the Heard Museum of American Indian art and Indigenous culture. And IDC what nobody says it works. I have been having traumatic nightmares for 6 straight months from reliving lifelong traumatic events as I wrap up edits on my book.

I walked that entire prison today in heels and then headed straight to the airport in heels for our 2 hours and all this a day after we climbed Camelback Mountain while there. I am in so much pain lmao. Never let it be said I aint working my ass off with yall donations

We were cutting the FOOL down at the prison. Just laughing and fooling. It was a good time. I like making the women laugh and feel normal.

Don’t let people tell you the arts don’t make any money. That $80,000 book deal I got put a HUGE dent in my student loans and the rest is going to the down payment on my first home.

At the airport and just leaving Perryville Prison in Arizona, a women’s prison housing over 3,000 women. It was my true honor to be able to tell them my story and hear theirs. And offer all the resources I can to them and their families.

I met the sweetest women ever in prison today. Particularly this one Black girl who came up to me after the women finished their presentations for me.

Just left the theater from seeing Primetime. A few immediate thoughts: 1. I will NEVER be able to watch the movie Rent again. 2. Robert Pattinson is the best male actor of his generation. There is just no comparison.

Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH @geauxgabrielle.blacksky.app · 28/09/2026

The comparisons btwn Beyonce & Taylor Swift are so forced its offensive. Beyonce is the greatest living entertainer. Nothing about her artistry, singing, concert sales (she remains the only woman on the top 10 highest grossing tours of all time), & career impact are comparable to Taylor Swift

Okay so I just used Miss Jessie’s Pillow Soft Curls cream last night for the first time and I was scared cause I thought that whole line was for women with loose textured hair. Bit this isnt even my hair fully blown out. And it feels SO soft and moisturized and fluffy!

I IMMEDIATELY was like “dont make me defend a man.” Anybody with 2 brain cells would likely think “I dont think they have changing tables in the men’s bathroom at the ballparks. She probably got hungry on the way or something.”

There’s another guy on the New Orleans/Northshore group that has a twin brother. Apparently he and his twin try to switch places with unsuspecting women they meet on the apps and force sex on them. There’s 1000 posts on there about him and his brother with texts included

Baton Rouge’s “Are We Dating The Same Guy” group exposed a guy in the local intramural volleyball community for being a pedophile and they literally ran his ass out of town and down to Florida I heard.

Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH @geauxgabrielle.blacksky.app · 26/09/2026

I will ALWAYS say that FB groups like “Are We Dating The Same Guy?” are doing the work of Christ. Women warning each other of abusive predators in their neighborhood is a collective good

Chris Hansen is on Twitter TROLLING and working his standom up to harass the director of Primetime cause he’s angry the movie wasn’t jerking him off. What a child.

As I wrap up my book edits, I'm actually geeked as fuck instead of scared about this book. I wrote something I believe in. I can stand on this. I guess I started out wanting it to be "perfect." But in the end I simply wrote the book I wanted to read and that I felt was missing from the world.

My cameras only give me the illusion of safety and a means of recourse AFTER harm has been threatened or perpetuated against me. It does not PREVENT harm itself.

1187

Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH @geauxgabrielle.blacksky.app · 25/09/2026

But even then, participating in the surveillance state is just a reactionary response to the systems we live under. Fighting fire with fire only burns us all down in the long run because we are ceding our privacy to the state in the name of safety. That's all it is

Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH @geauxgabrielle.blacksky.app · 25/09/2026

I keep dash cams on my car because my BIGGEST fear is a police officer pulling me over and threatening to sexually assault me for threat of arrest--a VERY common occurrence in Louisiana, especially given how rural it is.

2428

Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH @geauxgabrielle.blacksky.app · 25/09/2026

The surveillance state is upheld by us because it is upheld by our fear. And that is a FACT. But in acknowledging that fact and that damage from it, I cannot in good conscience deny the need for the people to do their best to protect themselves under it and fight fire with fire.

Ive been in multiple situations in my life where white people were lying on my name. Two of which I had to save myself by secretly recording conversations (cause I know my rights and I live in a one-party consent state). I will always record and save convos and protect myself

It was just last year a man was arrested & wrongly accused of killing a kid in a hit & run. This despite MANY WITNESSES seeing him at his daughter's cheerleading event. His sister had to knock on the door of EVERY HOUSE on that street to get Ring camera footage to free him. Wasnt even the same CAR

0197

Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH @geauxgabrielle.blacksky.app · 25/09/2026

There's a big discussion happening about how individuals contribute to the surveillance state by having Ring cameras and such in their homes and cars but as a Black woman in the movement space, I have seen how people have to become their own policing force to DEFEND THEMSELVES against the state.

Blackfolk have to adhere to PHD levels of fluid unwritten social rules, particularly wrt to the full spectrum of expression daily not just to keep a job but also to mitigate our chances of being frisked so yeah I don’t buy it when them folk say it’s too hard not to say a slur just bc of reclamation

I still like the feeling that no matter what happens, if Microsoft burns to the ground or my computer crashes one day, I still am holding my book's edited drafts in my HANDS in the form of this physical flash drive.

Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH @geauxgabrielle.blacksky.app · 24/09/2026

So I have my book chapters (edited and rough) saved in: - a physical flash drive now - One Drive - One Note (as attachments and cause it makes me feel good to see them all in one place like a real book) - DropBox (via my editor) - my physical laptop

I just bought a flash drive for the first time since grad school. And it felt good! I hate cloud based nonsense. I have been writing my book and keeping all the chapters in the cloud and on OneNote and my luddite boyfriend was like
